    Obstacle Busting: Failure

    People think failure is such a big, scary, horrible monster. It isn’t. It’s just a consequence of trying. We’re all going to fail at some point, if we haven’t already. So we might as well get comfortable with it. “I never lose. Either I win or I learn” – Nelson Mandela Going after success means…

    Build Yourself Up, Don’t Tear Yourself Down

    I was talking to a client the other day who’d had a good meeting with a new client, they were happy the client had got a lot from it, they had enjoyed it…but then they started second-guessing, undermining and taking away from themselves.

  • Success is More Than Straight A’s and Trophies

    Success is More Than Straight A’s and Trophies

    I had a funny conversation with a client this week. She was disappointed about not getting an opportunity and felt she’d failed. So far, so understandable, right?

  • Do You Know What Determination Looks Like?

    Last week I watched a program about 4 injured soldiers who walked to the North Pole. One had a broken back, one an amputated leg, one an amputated arm, and the last had a paralysed arm and half the muscle on his leg missing. At the end of the program, one of the lads said…

  • OnTheBeach – Don’t Tell Me I Suck

    I get really cross with ‘experts’ starting off from the position that I’m wrong, despite them knowing nothing about me at all. It may come as a surprise to some of these people that we are all unique and there are a thousand ways to succeed. Until they get it, I won’t be listening to…

  • Learning More From Failure

    Do you learn more from failing than you do from succeeding? It is accepted wisdom that we learn a lot more from making a mess of things than we do from effortlessly flying through. But why? Is it because there are more lessons when we fail? Or is it because we don’t examine the cause…
